Concept explainers
Two organisms, with genotypcs BbDD and BBDd, are mated. Assuming independent assortment of the B/b and D/d genes, write the genotypes of all possible offspring from this cross and use the rules of probability to calculate the chance of each genotype occurring.

- In a dihybrid cross, if two heterozygous individuals for both genes are crossed, what will be the expected phenotypic ratios? (In the following order: dominant for both traits; dominant for the first trait recessive for the second; recessive for the first trait and dominant for the second; recessive for both traits) show your solution using punnet squarearrow_forwardThe genotypes of F1 individuals in a trihybrid cross are LlMMNn x llMmNn. What is the probability that the F2 offspring will have an LlMmnn genotype? Use the forked-line method in solving the problem.arrow_forwardIn corn (Zea mays), the wild type trait is for kernels to be round; some kernels are shrunken (S), which is caused by recessive, mutant alleles of various genes. You obtain five strains of corn with shrunken kernels, and conduct pairwise crosses between all five strains (1x1, 1x2, 1,3, etc). The results are summarized in the matrix below: if the offspring have the wild type trait, round, then they are represented with a "+"; if the offspring have the trait caused by recessive, mutant alleles, shrunken, they are marked with "S" 1 2 3 4 5 1 S 2 + S 3 + 4 5 + S S S S S S + + + S a. How many total genes are represented by these five strains? Explain your answer. b. Which of the five strains represent the same genes? (how can they be grouped, if at all). Explain your answer.arrow_forward
- Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion Directions: For the following problem, calculate the probability of the offspring between the cross using the sum and product rule. The parent generation has genotypes of Aa Bb Cc and AA Bb CC. What is the probability the F1 generation would be AA bb cc?arrow_forwardIn a species of firefly, wide wings (W) are dominant to narrow wings (w) and graybodies (C) are dominant to brown bodies (c). A WwCc and wwcc fly were mated andproduced the following offspring: (in the picture attached) What is the recombination frequency for this cross (in percent)?arrow_forwardWhat are the expected phenotypic ratios from the following cross:Tt Rr yy Aa × Tt rr YY Aa, where T = tall, t = dwarf, R = round,r = wrinkled, Y = yellow, y = green, A = axial, a = terminal; T, R,Y, and A are dominant alleles. Note: Consider using the multiplication method in answering this problemarrow_forward

Show your work by using separate punnett square for each trait then multiplying the fractionsarrow_forward
- You have a pure breeding plant with red flowers, yellow seeds and red-veined leaves. You cross this with another pure breeding plant that has white flowers, pink seeds and yellow leaf veins. All of the offspring (F1) have white flowers, yellow seeds and orange leaf veins. Assuming all three loci are independently assorting, use this information to answer the following question: If two F1 offspring are crossed with each other and 1000 F2 are obtained, approximately how many offspring should have orange leaf veins? a. 1000 b. 750 c. 500 d. 250 e. Cannot be determined with this informationarrow_forwardIn the pearl-millet plant, color is determined by three alleles at a single locus: Rp1 (red), Rp2 (purple), and rp (green). Red is dominant over purple and green, and purple is dominant over green (Rp1 > Rp2 > rp). Give the expected phenotypes and ratios of offspring produced by the following crosses. Q.Rp1/ rp × Rp2/ rparrow_forwardFor the mating AaBBDdGg x AabbDdGG, draw the monhybrid punnet squares, one for each of the four genes shown in the cross. Assume that all genes assort independently. What fraction of the offspring would have the phenotype A_B_D_G? What fraction of the offspring would have the phenotype aaB_ddG_?arrow_forward
